(we're drifting off topic, so this will be my last addition to this subthread)

Yes, as great as IPython is, when it's considered out of scope for the standard installers, it's unlikely to be a good fit for a version of Python aimed at running *on* a microcontroller. Running on a Raspberry Pi or remote PC and *talking* to an associated microcontroller is a different story, though.
